Gloves are an important part of protective equipment in karting. They not only provide protection, but also improve grip and control of the kart. Here are some points to consider when buying karting gloves:
1. material: karting gloves are often made of lightweight, breathable material that offers both flexibility and durability. Leather or special synthetic materials are common options.
2. grip: Make sure that the gloves have a non-slip coating on the palms. This improves grip on the steering wheel and ensures better control while driving.
3. fit: The gloves should fit well without being too tight. A good fit allows you to precisely control the movements of your hands.
4. ventilation: As it can get warm quickly when karting, well-ventilated gloves are an advantage. Many models have mesh inserts or other ventilation systems.
5. safety: Some gloves offer additional padding or reinforcements on the knuckles and palms to provide extra protection in the event of impact.
6. design: While safety and functionality are paramount, there are many different designs and colors so that you can also express your personal style.
It is advisable to try on the gloves before you buy them to make sure they fit well and are comfortable. If you have any further questions or need recommendations, let me know! Have fun karting!
